The role of multi-actor governance in aligning farm modernization and sustainable rural development (2017, background): “It embraces decentralized decision making and encourages bottom-up approaches (see Andersson and Ostrom, 2008; Hooghe and Marks, 2003; Knüppe and Pahl-Wostl, 2012).”
Mitigation and adaptation in polycentric systems: sources of power in the pursuit of collective goals (2017, background): “levels in favor of promoting strong, independent roles at local and regional levels.(34,36) Yet, central to the claims made for polycentricity are multiscale issues of power and responsibility.”
General Resilience to Cope with Extreme Events (2012, background): “This allows management systems to be scaled appropriately for the problems they are aiming to solve, capitalizing on the advantages of a particular governance arrangement while simultaneously having institutional backup systems [36].”
African community-based conservation: a systematic review of social and ecological outcomes (2018, background): “A key assumption is that socioeconomic incentives for participation in CBC allow local populations to maintain biodiversity, increase their socioeconomic status, and support economic development more generally (Andersson and Ostrom 2008, Taylor 2009, Dougill et al. 2012, Mace 2014).”
Multi-level governance for large marine commons: Politics and polycentricity in Palau's protected area network (2013, background): “…to craft and adjust their own institutions over time, which can increase the likelihood of those institutions leading to effective, equitable, or sustainable outcomes because they are more likely to be well matched to particular social-ecological contexts (Andersson and Ostrom, 2008; Ostrom, 2012).”
Tourism innovation policy: Implementation and outcomes (2014, background): “Polycentricity is an intellectually broad concept that stresses the need for and the importance of multiplicity, diversity, interdependency, checks and balances, complexity, and requisite variety in both the study and operation of public policy delivery (Andersson & Ostrom, 2008; Toonen, 2010).”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “To meet both polycentric and subsidiarity design principles, then, a governance system needs not only to comprise multiple organisations and levels, but also to afford these multiple organisations real autonomy in how they perform the functions assigned to them (Andersson and Ostrom 2008; Berkes 200”
Polycentricity, reciprocity, and farmer adoption of conservation practices under community-based governance (2009, background): “Nevertheless, efforts to establish polycentric systems of community-based conservation remain handicapped by weak development of the relevant theory ( Andersson and Ostrom, 2008; Berkes, 2002; Marshall, 2008b).”
Ostrom, Hardin and the Commons: A Critical Appreciation and a Revisionist View (2014, neutral): “There are of course critique of the potentials and limitations of decentralization in natural resource governance, for instance Andersson and Ostrom (2008) and Larson and Soto (2008).”
